:l emoucls clown usshown at 26, and this lever llt@ strikes the rearwall of the casing, and inches from below the slots 8 and 9 allowi thecoin 29 to drop down into the receptacle 2l.. At the same time, theejector has nuwe-.il from under the column ot boxes 30, and allowed thelowermost box to drop onto platform 5. lllhen plunger 6 is released, itis returned toits normalposition h v the spring and carries with itcross piece t3. )n this vreturn movement the tongue 'll will pressagainst enlargement l0 on the ejector` et, and return the ejector to itsnormal position, thereby pushing the box, which dropped onto theplatform 5, into the delivery pocket 28, where it can easiljy he reachedwith the hand. lf the plunger and cross piece are pushed inwardly, whenno coin has been dropped in the chute` the ejector will ordinarily notbe carried with them, but will he held in normal position b v the weightof the boxes. lf by chance` however, the ejector should move inwardly.the dog 2O will engage the toothed rack il and prevent any furtherinward niovement of the ejector. rl `liis movementtrom the normalposition Yuntil the dog engages the rack, is not enough to allow a box`to drop onto the platform and'he pushed ott. consequently there is nodanger ot a box being obtained free.

The enlargement l 'forms a shoulder wnieh bears against the slide way,and preventsrany out-ward movement of the ejector when it is in normalposition.

Various slight changes might 'oe made in the general form andarrangementot' parts tileseribed without depali'ting from my invention.and hence l do not limit myself to the {,reeif-.e details set`toi'tli,'luzt consider mj'- :leltf at liberty to malte such changes andalterations as fairly fall within the spirit and scopeotI the anpen dedclaims.

Having thus described my invention` what l cla-im as new and desire to,st-cure lu' lietters Patent is:

l. )t vending machine` comprisinga casing, au ejector in the easing. aplunger movA able longitudinally below tl e ejector and projectingthrough the easing. a cross piece on the plunger having a coin .slottherein. an enlargement on the. inner end ol the ejector limiting theoutward movem'J-nl thereof and haring a coin slot normally registeringwith the .'-zlot in the cross piece, said plungex and ejector adapted tohe coupled by a coin in the slot. wht-Wehr the plunger when Yforcedinwardlj-f will move the ejector in one direction, a ton eue on thecross piece engaging behind the ej i ctor, whereby the outward movementof the plunger causes the outward movement of the ejector, and ay springeX- erting outward pressure on the plunger to move the plunger and theejector outwardly eject-ing the goods, substantially described.

2. A vending machine, comprising a casing, an ejector in the easing, aplunger movable longitudinally below the ejector and )roectine' throughthe casin a cross )ieee vmovement ot the plunger causes the outwardmovement ot' the ejector, a spring exerting outward pressure on theplunger to move the plunger and the ejector outwardly ejecting thegoods, and means for releasing the coin when theplunger reaches itsinnermost position, sul'istantially as described.

3. A vending machine, comprising a casing, an ejector in the casing, aplunger movable longitudinally below the ejector and projecting throughthe casing, a cross piece on the plunger having a coin slot therein, anenlargement on the 'inner end of the ejector limiting the outwardmovement thereof and having a coin slot normally registering with theslotin the cross piece, said plunger and ejector adapted to be coupledhy a coin in the slot whereby the plunger when forced inwardly will movethe ejector in one direction. a tongliie on the cross piece engagingbehind the ejector, whereby the outward movement of the plunge-r causesthe outward movement ot the ejector, a spring exerting outward pressureon the plunger lo move the plunger and the ejector out wardly electingthe goods, a spring held coin releasing lever pivotally secured to` theunder tare ot the eross piece and adapted to strike the rear wall of thecasing to release the coin when the plunger reaches its innermostposition,substantially as described.
